It's funny - having designed a fast looking, but relatively inexpensive car(s), both companies may find themselves being panned for the lack of desired performance. They won't care if people still buy them, but it will be interesting to see if or how fast they offer more power.

I wouldn't be so fast to dismiss the Toyobaru for 'the lack of desired performance'... this is the best DD fun car that money can buy if you can live without the 4 seats of the 1M or if you can't live with 16.3 mpg in a daily basis (I'm doing 14.0 mpg consistently and I'm starting to not like it ):
